Detailed Description

An instance of the CubicSpline class implements a function $y=f(x)$ composed of three cubic spline segments of the form $y=a{x}^3+b{x}^2+cx+d$.

The function is constrained as follows:

• the function is defined only for $x$ values in the interval [0,1]
• the function goes through the four points $(0,0),(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(1,1)$ with $0<x_1<x_2<1$, where the outer points are fixed and the inner points are provided as arguments to the constructor
• the function's first and second derivatives are continuous at the inner points
• the function's second derivative is zero at the outer points ("natural bounding conditions")
• regardless of the form dictated by the spline segments, the $y$ value is always clipped to the interval [0,1]
